Both Churches will usually be open during daylight hours.
God is addressed, in today's Collect, as "the author and giver of all good things". This reminds us that the world exists, not because of mere chance, but because God planned it in the beginning. We gather together here to celebrate the gifts of creation and redemption, asking God to "graft in our hearts the love of you name".
